Abstract
We examine the impact of holding more redeployable assets on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Using a large panel sample of U.S. public companies, we posit and find a significant negative relation between asset redeployability and CSR performance, suggesting that firms with more redeployable assets demonstrate lower overall CSR performance. Our findings are robust to different time periods, alternative measures of redeployability, a changes analysis, and a two-stage regression analysis.
